Heavy Duty Strike Plates

Strike-plates and Long Screws

This may seem like a trivial detail, but the reality is that a good, strong, heavy duty strikeplate can be the difference between an intruder easily kicking in the door or not. The larger the plate coupled with long security screws that anchor into the 2x4 framing stud, the stronger your deadbolt and door will be against an attack.

Security Screws

Strike-plates and Long Screws

About 60 - 70% of the homes we work in do not have a heavy duty strike plate or long screws installed, and we've had to make costly repairs to doors that were kicked in, causing significant damage to the door frame. Many times the damage could have been avoided or minimized with this simple precautionary measure.

Strengthen Hinges

The same applies to the screws that hold the door hinge to the frame. The screws that come from the factory are only about 5/8" inches long. Installing just one long screw in each hinge that anchor into the 2x4 framing stud will significantly increase the strength of your door from an intruders' attempt to kick it in on the hinge side.

Security Bar

It is quite common for a homeowner to place a piece of broom stick or something similar at the bottom of the patio door railing for security purposes. Although this can be effective, the best solution is to install a Security Bar, sometimes refered to as a 'Charlie-Bar', that fits across the middle of the door. It easily folds away when not in use and is always there when you need it.

Pin Locks

Another option is installing a Pin Lock at the top of the door. This method requires a hole to be drilled through the frame of your patio door. There are a few variations of these types of locks. This is a low cost, low tech device yet is very effective.

One Sided (Keyless) Deadbolts

These locks - also known as keyless deadbolts- are designed to offer an extra layer of security in addition to the existing deadbolt. The lock is not visible from the exterior side of the door and can only be engaged from inside of the home.

In some states, these type of locks are required to be installed on all rental properties as an added protective measure for tenants.

Another alternative is to replace your current deadbolts with special deadbolt locks designed with a similar feature to this 'keyless' device. No additional holes needed. Contact us for pricing and additional information.

Door Viewers & Smart Video Doorbells

Door viewers are very important because they allow you to actually see who is on the other side of your door. They are also inexpensive to purchase and install. We recommend installing one on all exterior doors that have no glass or side lights.

Another great option that is becoming more and more popular, is the use of video doorbells. There are a wide variety to choose from but most work with an app installed on your smartphone that will alert you and let you see a video of the person that is at your door. These devices are affordable and are a great way to add another layer of security to your home. SECURE HOME can install these on your home for less than you might think.
